My Highschool Band

[BenGill]

My highschool Rock band. Equal parts Green Day, Pearl Jam and Rush. Catchy, Proggy, Punk Rock made by 3 highschool students from New Jersey.

My older cousin gave me his Revolution Radio CD, along with CDs of American Idiot, 21st Century Breakdown and Demolicious, and an oldschool CD player for my 9th birthday in 2018.

I bought the Foxboro Hottubs album on CD at a record store that Summer.

Those albums shaped my taste in music to this day. It also just felt awesome listening on outdated tech. I could've just streamed everything, but there's something about a physical CD that makes you feel like you own it. Like a collection.

Plus that CD player had a subwoofer and my phone still doesn't!

 

Anyway, facking check out our album here...

Holy shit kid, stop making me feel like the crypt keeper.

I used to have a thread like this, but my band broke up lmfao. I hope you guys have more luck than I did with my band  

This was my band thread. We broke up in August of last year, can't believe it's been that long since I've been solo

As someone who hears about a new record from an artist I like and thinks "oh boy I wonder what the lyric book will look like" I feel old as hell
